Anyone know where I can get a new or used sunroof motor for my '94 525iT? I've had the car about 5 years now and I did have the tracks cleaned a few years ago and after that the sunroof started working. Six months later I went to a car wash in winter and I think water froze on the roof and I think I burned out the motor when I tried to open it again. It hasn't worked since. So I know the problem isn't the tracks, it could be either the switch or the motor, both which look fairly easy to replace. I can't find a motor anywhwere. Any suggestions?

A 2001 525 wagon caught my eye. I've owned Bimmers from the 70's and 80's. Any advice on owning a (for me) almost new one? Is this year / model a good bet? Thanks.

Hi, Is it normal for BMWs to have stiff power steering? It feels like it's semi-automatic steering. I realize it's rwd however it's hard to believe a luxury sport car would take two hands to make u-turns, not fun to drive. Please advise. Thank you

Replying to: cmybimmergo (Mar 16, 2006 6:18 am) 99 540i not sport package I understand stiffness is good when we (me) performance drivers like to feel every move we make. However, it's way to stiff! 2 hands to make U-turns,not cool.. The records if this car indicates the steering pump hose had(has a leak) no record of replacement. and fluid stays at the correct level. Another thing the car is now doing is it lunges forward on it's own when almost at a complete stop. Perhaps the throttle sensor is out. I'm the second owner. Has only 53k miles. Please advise Thanks again wisdom |

Just bought an 01 525i sport wagon with 15k original miles. It has a steptronic trans. I have a few questions, if anyone can help. 1. My insurance calls it a 525iT. What is the "T" and could it raise my insurance rate? 2. What are the common mechanical problems with this model? 3. Does anyone run 91 instead of 93 octane without spark knock?

Replying to: gooseman (May 02, 2006 5:52 am) I believe the recommended octane rating for most BMWs is 91, so you should be fine there.. |
